Anything that relates YouTube posters to evil demon worshipers is definitely WISTable!Jack Skellington wrote:LOL Escapay, I didn't get what WIST standed for, but I do now and I don't think I deserve a nomination although that was a really nice thing to say Disneyboy
But I always stick to my rule of "don't consider it anymore if someone else nominates it" because it "taints" it for me, in that someone is recognizing its WISTability before I do. Seems rather silly/stubborn, but if I start accepting a nominated WIST, then people will intentionally try to write WISTable things hoping someone nominates it. And it's more fun to just randomly update my siggy with a new WIST and have people discover it that way than someone saying "I nominate this!" and then hope that I take the nomination.
I'm pretty sure I've done a Prudence WIST (if I didn't, I'm sorry Prudence!), and I know for certain Jules has been in a couple WISTs (mainly because one of them, Jules got so excited he started his own thread about it, I think).Jack Skells wrote:if there's anyone who should be getting a WIST nomination it would probably be Prudence or Julian Carter, they are so sassy and funny at the same time, lol !
Yeah, some people don't like it, which I understand.Jack Skells wrote:But to be perfectly honest Scaps...I'm kind of against the WTF part though.
The point is, a WTF is just something that I find so incredibly...well, silly. Something that when you read it you can't believe the person actually said it. Initially it was almost always an "open mouth, insert foot" thing someone said (like Alan suggesting I fly to Fort Worth, Texas to go to a GameStop to buy Beauty and the Beast: Platinum Edition for $16). But over time it's just become a way for me to post something that someone said with the stigma of "They did *not* just say that!" It's not necessarily reflective of the person, but of the idea they're persenting.
With Sprince's WTF, it's attacking the general idea that many DP fans have: that you don't *have* to be a princess to be part of the line, but even so, some legitimate princesses are excluded from the line. I've got a lot against the DP merch line, so having the idea of "you don't have to be a real princess to be a Disney Princess" is utterly absurd in my opinion, especially since it's so hypocritical of people who believe it. It's not an attack on Sprince, just an attack on the idea.
There is a bias, I admit, to who I WIST versus who I WTF, as I tend to WIST people whose posts I agree with more than people whose posts I often find myself butting heads with. Likewise, WTF's usually stem from things I disagree with or find utterly outrageous, but is not always reflective of the poster.
It's pretty much a given that I'm almost always at odds with Sprince, but I have nothing against him personally, which is important when talking to people on the internet. Hate their ideas, but don't hate them as you don't really know them as well as you think you do. I'm sure there's many UDers here who don't like my anti-slipcover anti-DP and anti-TLK opinions.
